How long have you been styling & cutting hair professionally?

I have been a stylist professionally for over a year and a half now.


When did you first become interested in hair styling?

I have always loved doing my hair and my friend’s hair. However I never considered it as a career.

I was going to be a school teacher. Until after a few major events in my life I was being the "girl who cried beauty school!"

I was never intending on going to beauty school, however God and my family had different plans and about three months after I started using it as my excuse I was enrolled and starting. The 2nd day in I fell in love and I can't imagine doing anything else.






What is your education?


I graduated from Toni & Guy Hair Academy, in Coeur d'Alene, top of my class. I have attended numerous classes and job shadowed with many stylist in the area.

What type of hair do you specialize in?

I mainly do cuts and colors. I am working towards a goal of specializing in "avant-garde" or theatrical hair.



Do you have your own business or do you work in a salon?
  
I have owned my business and I worked with the lovely ladies at Maxx & Co. Salon for the past year and half.




Will you travel on site for bridal & wedding party hair?

I do travel for bridal and wedding party hair.

Do you offer a package for the bride + all of the bridal party and moms?

It really depends on the wedding. I have limited help so it depends on the wedding as to what I offer. I normally have set prices as to the bride being more and then the bridesmaids less. However depending on the circumstance it varies.

What is your favorite part of living in the Northwest?

I love being outside, surrounded by the water with all the trees and mountains. It's such an inspiring beautiful area.


What is your family like?



My family is very loud and loving. I am very close to my brothers. I live with my grandparents and I absolutely love every minute I spend with my family.


One or Two quirky facts about yourself?

I’m Irish…Very Irish, however I tan like I’m Italian…And I love reading and knowing useless facts that no one       ever has a need for!

Other ventures? Blogs? Projects? Businesses?

I love traveling and I am moving in the fall with my best friend for the winter to just get away and do something new.

I own a small business making customized lamps out of bottles.

  1. The greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
